Alysia Brown (D), Marie Metze (D), Michael B. Fitzgerald (D), Raghu Raju (D), Shelitha Robertson (D) and John Franklin Guest Jr. (I) faced off in a special election on June 16.[1] Since no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters, Robertson and Metze, met in a runoff election on July 14, which Metze won.[2][3]

Tyrone Brooks Jr. (D) was initially removed from the ballot on June 8 after he failed to prove that he had lived in the district for at least a year.[4] However, he was temporarily placed back on the ballot by a Superior Court judge on June 11, 2015. A hearing was held on June 15 to determine Brooks' eligibility.[5] Ultimately, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kimberly M. Esmond Adams sided with Secretary of State Brian Kemp's (R) original decision and ruled that Brooks was not eligible for the ballot.[6]

The seat was vacant following the resignation of Tyrone Brooks Sr. (D) on April 9, 2015.[7]

A special election for the position of Georgia House of Representatives District 55 was called for June 16. A runoff election took place on July 14. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was April 30.[7]
